2.3. Association of Irish Energy Agencies The Association of Irish Energy Agencies was established in November 1998 to represent the interests of its members in both the North and South of Ireland. The Association currently consists of 15 agencies that were set up with support from the European Commission under the Rational Urban Energy Planning Programme, a SAVE II Programme. All energy agencies are established through the local authority framework. The overall aim of the Association is to promote renewable energy and rational use of energy (RUE), to improve the quality of the environment and to contribute to sustainable development. In this way the Association promotes environmental awareness and contributes positively to the protection of the environment. There are four energy agencies within the South-East Region and representatives from each of the agencies were represented on the Steering Committee for the development of the Regional Bioenergy Implementation Plan. 2.4. Tipperary Energy Agency The Tipperary Energy Agency (TEA) was established in 1998 as a partnership between North and South Tipperary County Councils and the Tipperary Institute. The Agency’s aim is to support the development of sustainable energy in Co. Tipperary and beyond. TEA works in the fields of energy efficiency, energy management, renewable energy and sustainable transport. The Agency is linked to a network of other energy agencies in Ireland and Europe. It is a founding member of the Association of Irish Energy Agencies and is the only Irish member of FEDARENE (the European Federation of Regional Energy and Environment Agencies). The TEA has completed, and is currently involved in, a wide range of projects. These projects vary from feasibility studies, analysis, resource assessments, product evaluation, demonstration etc. They cover the fields of energy management, energy efficiency and renewable energy. 2.5. Carlow Kilkenny Energy Agency The Carlow Kilkenny Energy Agency (CKEA) was established to provide sustainable energy information and services to the people of Carlow and Kilkenny, to local businesses and community groups and to the two local authorities. The mission of CKEA is to contribute effectively to sustainable development in Co. Carlow and Co. Kilkenny by providing sustainable energy information, support and services. CKEA develops energy awareness and dissemination campaigns. It provides information regarding forms of renewable energy and energy efficient products, local developers, suppliers and installers and the Agency also works with schools on the GreenSchools initiative. CKEA is also involved in energy management for the Councils which involves south-east regional authority údarás réigiúnach an Oir-DheisCIrt 9
the negotiation of energy supply contracts, the management of electricity accounts and the optimisation of Council operations for energy efficiency. The Agency is involved in a number of energy efficiency and renewable energy projects and provides sustainable energy training for County Council staff and the public. CKEA is a key body in energy policy development, working with Carlow and Kilkenny County Councils to develop specific energy efficiency and renewable energy policies in county and local development plans and public building initiatives. 2.6. Waterford Energy Bureau The Waterford Energy Bureau (WEB) is a non-profit making bureau facilitating the individual and communities in Waterford County and City in becoming more energy aware and energy efficient. The bureau activities target sustainable energy issues and projects important to Waterford City and County. WEB is the local Energy Agency for Waterford City and County. The Agency provides a range of energy management, energy conservation and renewable energy services to the public, to business and to the local authorities. WEB undertakes various programmes for Waterford City and County Councils with regard to energy issues and it advises both local authorities on energy procurement, efficiency and renewable energy technologies. The Bureau promotes an integrated approach to energy management and promotion of the efficient and rational use of energy. WEB also provides an impartial energy information and assessment service to the general public in Waterford. 2.7. Wexford Energy Management Agency Ltd. The Wexford Energy Management Agency Ltd. was established in August 2001 as a joint initiative of Wexford County Council and the Wexford Organisation for Rural Development (WORD) with support from the European Union under the SAVE II Programme. The Agency is a member of the AIEA and contributes effectively to sustainable development in Co. Wexford by promoting and developing the rational use of energy (RUE) and the use of renewable energy through information dissemination, education, service provision and project development and management. WEMAL undertakes various programmes for Wexford County Council with regard to energy issues and advises on energy procurement, efficiency and renewable energy technologies. The Agency offers independent advice and information to the general public on energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives. 10 south-east regional authority údarás réigiúnach an Oir-DheisCIrt
